As I was on my daily bike ride I found myself pedaling for Thomas Mill Road, which in one friend's mind is this legendary hill/mountain I needed to ride. I started the climb and realized he was right, this was indeed something I needed to experience myself. As I reached the sumit of the hill I thought to myself how I had been avoiding an opportunity because I was afraid it would be an obstacle. In life we all have "mountains" whether we want to face them or not. The choice is not do we climb the "mountain" but how we climb it. Do we see it as oppotunity to grow and become better or do we see it as an obstacle only in the way with no good coming from the experience? I encourage each of you to have the best possible attitude and see opportunity in all "mountains" you face. Life is a one shot deal and it is your choice in how you see the outcome. I recently stumbled across this song and find it to be almost anthem like on the days I choose to see obstacles vs. opportunities.
Listen and hopefully you too will find opportunity when you face your next "mountain".
